He's on the NWO architecture map.

very interesting images of Saarinen and some of his projects, captured by an architectural photographer named Balthazar Korab - there's a strange phenomenon of extreme documentation and veneration of J. Irwin Miller (irwin-sweeney-miller family collection, Miller house digitization project) and Eero Saarinen (google for terms, Balthazar Korab eero saarinen, for the "mother" lode).

provides some interesting threads to pull on Saarinen - notably,
>Shortly after World War II broke out, Eero became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He
>was recruited by a former classmate at Yale to join the OSS where he worked until 1944. It was
>the same classmate who several years prior had recruited Eero to work on the Futurama exhibit
>for the New York World’s Fair, an experience they now found directly relevant to their work at the
>OSS.
This "classmate" could potentially be:
> Charles Eames (need to look to see if he was at Yale)
> J. Irwin Miller (time at Yale as undergrad would have overlapped with Saarinen by 1-2 years)
Eames did substantial work at J. Irwin Miller's home (which Saarinen designed), so the 3 are intimately tied one way or another.

and just wanted to point out something that is also a theme, the State of Indiana has taken great care in preserving J. Irwin Miller's legacy
>The home will open to the public on May 10, 2011, under the care of The Indianapolis
>Museum of Art, which has preserved the home since 2009, after the Millers donated it with their passing.
Xenia had a lot to do with the MoA - she may have even helped create it.
